    Just a guess but I would say Holiday gets the start at PG. Need someone that can handle the ball.

    As inefficient as Green often is, he is still creating a lot of gravity on offense, because of his physical abilities. We can’t sub Eason for that. East and manned up the better player long-term but he doesn’t have that skill set and we need that element even if it is inefficient.

    if it doesn’t improve steadily throughout the course the season, I think you plug in Whitmore there next year or in 2024-2025.

    So, by watching this game, I guess Green > Eason >>> KPJ.

    King of knee jerks... dude if I had a dollar for every time you were wrong about a player I'd be well on my way to buying my private island.

    Look I understand that you are still but hurt about ya boy KPJ, but at least try not to make it so obvious that you cannot be objective regarding Green. It's getting old.

    No one can deny his talent. We absolutely HAVE to figure out how to get JG/Jabari/Alperen comfortable and rolling at the same time. I believe in all three!

    I'm sure if we had Tari Eason doing his best 2009 Trevor Ariza impression out there instead of Busty Green we beat the Nuggets.

    Well it was as suspected Green had a decent game but mostly against backups, that is where he should be playing right now.

    All of a sudden, Jokic, MPJ and Caldwell-Pope are backups players.

    There are many things that can be criticised about Green and they would be good or correct criticism, yet somehow you find a way to still be factually wrong.

    Played the entire 3rd quarter going against starters and the bench.

    I don’t think they’ll bench Jalen but this is a lineup I’d definitely like to see them play with during some stretches of the game.

    Why do you do this? Honest question. Is it some kind of fetish?

    They just hate to be wrong and would rather the entire team fail than see Green succeed. That's why you see these brain dead takes somehow blaming the best player of the game for the loss.

    He blew up about halfway through the 3rd, and we were running ISO, it was nice, but it was short, as the 4th started and he lost it again.

    If he were consistent, no big deal, but he isn't.....and if you think that is good enough - I don't .......

    He needs someone to pressure him for his job....IMHO, he got benched today in the 2nd quarter and responded nicely.....he needs to stop needing to be benched.

    1 decent game every 5 or so, is not good enough, raise your own expectations.....

    I think this young team should learn how to win a game or 3 on the road.

    Your idiot lineup adjustments mean nothing.
